Moving - cheapest way to change with BT 27 September 2009 at 2:03PM in Phones & TV 1 reply 665 views

We're moving in with Mum.

At present Mum has line with BT and calls with 1899 ( the 1899 being an extra phone number on our account )

We have line and broadband with BT and calls with 1899 and 18185 for mobile numbers.

When we move should we close our account with BT and add broadband to Mums account and I suppose benefit from reduced rate for new broadband customer ? .... or close Mums account and put it in our name.

Mum is with Sky and I phoned them about their 'package' but Mum is not in their broadband area so they would charge £17 per month. No dingle-dongle in her area either.

Any ideas welcome. :j

I'd do the former. Trying to change the name on an existing account is bound to end up in the 'too difficult to do' file.

Don't forget to delete your existing number from your 1899 and 18185 accounts after you've added your Mum's to those it's not on already.
